Andre Agassi

Andre Agassi was my very first tennis idol. Eight grand slam trophies. Former world number one. One of the few who has won a grand slam. Former Olympic champion. A great spokesperson to the sport of tennis.He was one of a few real tennis celebrities. Rivaled only by the likes of Martina Navratilova, Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe.He was a presence...

Catharsis

I just realized that in order for me to move forward and be a better person, I would have to get rid of old habits and that means also getting rid of people who does not really do me good.I am a nice friend, but it does not mean that every friend that I've got can and will bring me to where I should be at. They can be bad influences and it will really be a personal decision whether to stop the friendship and just be plain civil,...

Chiz Escudero

I used to like Chiz Escudero. He positioned himself as this young politico out to save the country from political turmoil. He made the bashes and comentos requisite for an opposition leader. The new champion of the masses? Sounded like Ramon Magsaysay to me.He could be this generation's Ninoy Aquino. I won't argue with that. He has got this...

I Am Almost Famous

This is supposed to be a story about the movie Almost Famous which happens to be my most favorite movie of all time. Never have I realized that I would be talking about my life here. Here's how my story goes.Tears are on the brink of falling as I am presently thinking of ways to start my article. But one thing I know sure needs to be written...

Pig Skeeting

This is a darn decent picture of swine artificial insemination. I saw this nightmare when I was on missionary service in Negros.Me and a Caucasian companion parked our van on a sleepy town called Amlan in Negros. It was a charming little town that had a nice view of the sea and surrounding islands with mountains as its backdrop. If you're...

I. Hate. Math.

I'm one of the planet's coolest people because I just horribly hate math. It has been the main source of my frustrations and failures during my high school and college lives. It produced my ONLY failing grade ever. It was also the main reason why I wasn't qualified to graduate with honors during high school. Math has and will always be...

Durian

I don't know about you but I have loved the durian from the very first smell. I can't exactly recall my very first durian taste but passing along Magsaysay Park in Davao City in an air-conditioned car some five years ago one hot summer morning, my olfactories sensed something very wonderful.I lived in Davao City for a year, and almost everyday,...

Barangay Soup Kitchen

I don't think the metro will never be the same after Ondoy. The magnanimity, the rainfall recorded, the devastation created, the totality of it all, was just overwhelming. I still can't decipher the fact that the water reached Marcos Bridge in Marcos Hi-way in Marikina.There will always be stories upon stories about people braving the floods...

My Other Idol

A few nights ago, I gathered here on The Comfort Rooms my list of Personal Idols. Irregardless of their fields of excellences, I tried to think hard on who really makes me wanna be like them or whoever's life I find really irresistible in finding out about (not to the point wherein people would mistake me as The Talented Mr Ripley...).Anyways,...

Glutathione

Here in the Philippines, everybody wants to be white. That's why glutathione pills are such a craze here in the country. People take them to make them fairer. If you have obtained that Edward Cullen fairness, congratulations! If people are starting to mistake you for Michael Jackson, oops! Easy on the pills! You must have taken too much.You...

Twilight (Zone)

TO ALL TWILIGHT FANATICS, THIS CAN CAUSE SEVERE HEARTBREAK.While it is true that I can always have a signatured copy of Stephanie Meyer's book/s and maybe have a little chit-chat with her (an aunt goes to the same church with her), still, it is not enough reason for me to read her book nor watch even a minute of her movie/s.The word Twilight...
